2008 Hyundai Accent - Great Gas Saver!

I think that the car is very good quality for the cost of the car. The car is very practical for many different reasons. The car is obviously a sub compact car looking at it, however the built on the inside has used their space very wisely and my husband who is tall can fit with an infant car seat behind him comfortably. The space also is well used as you would expect a small trunk of this car and looking at it. The trunk is actually very large and I can fit a full size baby stroller in it and could not in larger cars. I think that the car fuel is very very good. In the current economy gas is decently expensive currently. In the area we live in it is about 2.80 Per gallon. The car can get my husband who drives about 60 miles one way to work almost a full week without getting more gas.... (more)

The tank size is decently small therefore you are able to fill the tank with very little money and run for a long time. Almost 400 miles aprox.

Story

One fun memorable story we have is that we went to the cape in the car. We live about an hour and a half away and we filled the tank thinking we would need a lot of gas. We got there and used about 1/8 of a tank. This was our first trip we took.

Pros

The pros would be the spacious inside of the car, gas efficient, trunk size

Cons

The cons would be that there are not many gadgets to go along with the car( example cruise control, automatic locks) The inside of the car design is not appealing looking but it works, also the outside design isn't the most appealing as well but it makes up for it with its pros.

2008 Hyundai Accent - A small car with personality.

My 2008 Hyundai Accent is a good and affordable car. The price is right for its size and quality. The quality has actually surprised me, as it's turned out to be pretty reliable with very few incidents or problems. The color is a pretty light blue, and at the time that I purchased the car, it was considered a rare color. The shape is cute and modern with lots of curves. It has a CD player, so you can bring your CDs along and listen to them while you drive. It has three cup holders in the center. While the seats are adjustable, there is limited room, as it is a more compact car. That being said, though, it is very easy to get it in a small parking space or to drive down narrow streets because of its small size. It also gets good gas mileage because of the smaller tank.

And I am amazed at how much space is in the backseat. I often carry a lot of stuff in the back from cleaning out a previous place where I lived, and I've been able to fit quite a few storage tubs into it, so it would be a great car for a packrat! All in all, it is a great car that serves its purpose and gets me where I need to go.

Story

I remember driving in it to Busch Gardens by myself and getting a bit lost on the way home. I freaked out, because I couldn't find the road to take me back to the interstate. But when I think back to that moment now, it was funny.

Pros

It is a small car, so it's easy to park in more narrow parking spaces. It has a CD player. A good amount of space in the backseat. Cheap on gas.

Cons

The drink cup holders are at an awkward position, making it so you have to stretch your arm backwards a bit to put a cup in. Because my car color is a light blue, people will easily remember it if I make a mistake in it or pull out in front of someone. The seatbelt is a bit far back, so you have to stretch your arm back to reach it. Not the best handling on wet roads or in puddles.
